Anybody a high-end pen collector here?
@Mechans - Yes, I vaguely remember the letter "c" - it was included in the conversations when I would listen in on the ladies talking about certain Parker Fountain pens. What does "c" mean anyway?I remember those pens looking very elegant and kind... 
Taralabs cables
audiolabrynith, I have a variety of older model Tara Labs Cables from 1999 - 2007ish. I will be happy to list them for you, but it will take some time for me to sort them out for now.. there's a lot there from Master Generation2 to The One. I am j... 
Taralabs cables
Audiolabyrinth - do you know if Tara Labs has moved on from their proprietary conductor they used to call: Consonant Alloy copper? I haven't kept up with Tara Labs in a while, so I don't know much about what they've been up to. My entire system is... 
Cables best suited to electrostatic speakers
After experimenting with different types of cable - cables with solid core conductors sound the best to my ears with my Martin Logan speakers. Tara Labs RSC cables works great for me. 
Anybody a high-end pen collector here?
So, what name brand pens are considered high end, and where does Parker rate? I remember growing up in Japan back in the sixties - whenever my Mom's Japanese friends wanted a good fountain pen they would ask her if she could get them a Parker from... 
Entry level Phono Stage for Dynavector 10x5
I think a better choice would be to keep what you have, save more money, then do an upgrade. In less then a year, after you've had a taste of the D75, you are most likely going to get the upgrade bug. So, set a goal for a used phono stage in the 1... 
Echosmith
Same here Mofi. I heard Cool kids on VH1 one morning - the song got my attention immediately. 
Is EAD still relevant
Greg Palma of EAD/Noble Electronics are good people. 
What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report

Do you enjoy the sound at your local Theater Plex?
Most of the cinemas I'm familiar with use entry level professional QSC amps... the RMX series. Entry level QSC amps are very reliable and cheap. As far as sound goes in the movie theaters.. everything always sounds clean to me, but their speakers ... 
3k to spend...
IMO, 3k is pretty tight for a good analog setup - it would not satisfy my needs. So, if I were to get started today, I would definitely go with a used Basis 1400 with a budget arm already on it (you can always upgrade the arm latter). Look for a u... 
Your Dream/Team Rock Band
How about the Dream Team Power Trio that was supposed to happen back in the mid to late 70's that never happened thanks to "A&M records" who owned Rick Wakeman at the time said, "that's not going to happen" Thanks a lot Herb Albert and A&M... 
Taralabs cables
@Jebsmith73... probably not as much as a Super arm 9, but more then my Vector model 3... I'm guessing :)

It's about five minutes till 2AM, and I've got David Benoit, Orchestral Stories, in my transport right now from last night.. a 2005 CD I listened to back then, but never cared for until I smoked a joint last night and happened to listen again... W...
